To help us focus our conservation and sustainability efforts, we at Audley have created a framework with concrete goals based around certain principals. Our partnership with Water-to-Go helps us reach two of those goals: Life Below Water and Responsible Consumption and Production.
LIFE BELOW WATER
Using a reusable water bottle reduces marine plastic pollution. According to the UN, more than 17 million metric tons of plastic entered the ocean in 2021 alone. That’s projected to double or triple by 2040. Switching from single-use to multi-use bottles goes a long way towards conserving and preserving marine ecosystems.
Using four water bottles per day on a two–week trip results in throwing away 56 single-use plastic bottles. We’re encouraging our clients to use Water-to-Go bottles to help eliminate this extraordinary and unnecessary waste.
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
We’re dedicated to promoting a sustainable, circular economy, rather than a linear economy that’s based on production, consumption, and disposal.
Single-use plastic pollutes our oceans and adds to ever-growing landfills. Meanwhile, plastic production consumes an astounding 8% of global oil production. If the entire lifecycle of plastic were a country, it would be the fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
By using a reusable water bottle, you won’t be contributing to this and will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
